Thanks for the post OP! Picked up the game.

 

[Neolombax]

Its only at a 50% off here in this region, so not a sale for me yet. Also still waiting for the Terminator game to be on a deep sale, or to be part of PS Plus. Personally I find that game to be more interesting than Robocop.

 

[MetalFreak]

It is really a no brainer especially if you are a fan of the movie.

 

[Harlock]

Gamepass soon.

 

[Maddoxswe]

Picked it up, going in blind

 

[Mephisto40]

Been playing this all weekend, game seems pretty easy in general but enjoying it, well worth the sale price

 

[Toots]

Bought it around 20$ two weeks ago, it was alreasy worth every penny.
If you ever wished to play an 80s actioner you must try this one.

Full auto auto 9 is crazy you blow up everything in your path, limbs included, as it's supposed to be when playing an 80s hero.

 

[dragonyeuw]

$8.49 om Fanatical per Wario64...... also saw it for $5 on Indiegala but I'm not familiar with that site( I'm sure others can vouch for them).

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

This site now has the Steam version for $5

[Pasta la Vista]

This is basically the RoboCop 3 we should have got. Game is pretty average overall, definitely "AA" but its a great one and done experience.
I bought it at full price and don't regret it as a huge fan of RoboCop.

 

[AJUMP23]

If you steal Robocop will come for you. So buy the game at a discounted price.

$20 on xbox.

 

[adamsapple]

Those are some incredible sale prices for a fan-fucking-tastic game.

 

[Imtjnotu]

Picked it up. Thanks OP

 

[larrybrady]

They never added a 40 fps option did they? I’ll still pick it up,it’s to good of a price.. remember reading the performance mode was spotty,hope it’s decent now

 

[CrustyBritches]

Glad I held off on the PS5 version. Now I can get it for Steam and try it on the Deck.

 

[salva]

Gamepass soon.

yeah i got a feeling it's an imminent drop soon

 

[Kerotan]

I've told 5 people on ps5 about this sale and they're all playing it.

 

[metareferential]

There's a good VR mod too. Looks really fun.

 

[GinSama]

One of the best games I ever played, I mean just the opening sequence where the Robocop theme starts, bullets flying, bad guys with cheese lines desperately trying to kill me, picking up stuff and even bodies and throwing against the bad guys...fuck it was like the movie(s) and I love it.


The semi world areas are nice and a lot of stuff to do and investigate, I enjoy it so much looking for people trying to break the law lolol....you feel almost invincible but at the sometimes when surrounded the bad guys can kill you.

Yeah sure the acting is bad....but honestly I freaking love it.
The first movie is probably top 5 of all time for me, and this game is a perfect homage.

I really hope they have a bigger budget and make a bigger game for a possible sequel.

My only regret is I didn't pay full price back then....also I will definitely play Terminator as well, if they used Terminator license in such respectfully way, the game must be fantastic.

 

[GymWolf]

Payed a bit less than 40 euros at launch and it was worth every penny.

 

[Aurelius]

So, at this prices, is it safe to say it will be a monthly PSN game soon?

 

[Punished Miku]

So, at this prices, is it safe to say it will be a monthly PSN game soon?

It is safe to say that; not against the terms of service here and I couldn't see you getting banned for it.

 

[winjer]

Seeing 2 Steam key stores making a steep discount on this game, a day before the next Humble Bundle, makes me think it might be part of this Monthly Bundle.
I'm just speculating, but we'll find out in about 6 hours.

 

[NoobSmog]

Welp, wish I saw this a day earlier, back to full price on psn.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

Bought this and System Shock together for, what, like $25 max? Cool. I was on the fence about both but...

 

[Certinty]

Unpopular opinion: It's no doubt worth this price but I didn't think it was great. Combat was fairly unique in the sense of how weighty, slow and tank-like it was and made you feel like Robocop, but it got pretty repetitive fast with nothing else to really shout about.

 

[Judge Death]

Worth it for full price to be honest. Absolutely loved it. Probably my favourite game of 2023. It's amazing to think three of my favourite games from the past two years have been Alien, Robocop, and Indiana Jones. And all three were the best of their respective licenses. Give me more like this!

I'm a few hours into Robo and despite being a big fan of the first film, I really don't see the glowing praise here. It's...serviceable at best so far? The IP does very heavy lifting imo.

A lot of things that "are just Robocop" actively annoy me. The walking speed in the open area is frustrating and made me turn it off twice already and I'm not a fan of the complete lack of crouching, vaulting or ducking. It just kind of feels like a super-basic FPS with barebones level design because...Robocop. It's not translating into fun combat for me.

It's one of those games where I'm like alright, neat, and I'll keep playing but yea, I was expecting more. It's cool it even got made though so good on them.

I'm having the same feelings toward the game. I don't know how much longer I can push myself through the game before I ultimately drop it.

Ever since I saw the UEVR mod for this game, it looked like the gameplay made more sense in that form.

Robocop: Rogue City - Alex Murphy edition on XSX is on sale for $13.99.

Great deal!

 

[Rising_Hei]

It's a good game, got it for 20 € and didn't regret. I can't believe it's price got this low.

 

[Shaki12345]

It's this low because they want to have some quick money. Which is always better than no money.

 

[Musashipan]

Where's the link for steam, please?

 

[Kvally]

8.5/10 from me. Played on my Xbox Series X and loved it.

 

[mckmas8808]

I wonder if it's next month's ps plus game at this price

Good point, actually.

So much this...
I'm actually one of the idiots that spent full price on this based on the hype and I couldn't have regretted it more...

Just like you mentioned, The things that are supposed to make it feel like a Robocop game are actually detrimental to it, this is one of the most basic, slow and shallow games FPSs that I ever had the misfortune of playing, not only is it not a good FPS but the actual sandbox environments filled with collectibles and shitty side quests bring it even more down, this game literally put me to sleep a couple of times...
The thing is that this game's lows quantity wise are actually more compared to the highs, even the OG, kick-ass theme is COMPLETELY unearned whenever it kicks in...

Couple that with atrocious, creepy, The Sims-like character models and their awful animations, awful voice acting, questionable performance etc etc and the final product feels/is literally bargain bin material.

It's the most 4/10 game I've played in the last 10 years and I really, really don't get how or why it was praised as much.

 

[Draugoth]

Alex Murphy Edition is current;y $5 on GMG

 

[Evil Calvin]

Been waiting for it to come down in price. Slowly did. Really wanted the physical but that never came down in price much either. So, I was shocked to see the big sale. Picked it up. Playing the first level. it is a lot of fun. Shooting and carnage is great and has definite weight to it (and a lot of giblets).

Down, that's just my opinion friend (even as an 80s kid that happens to like Robocop), others appear to have enjoyed it

Thing is, i don't remember the last good FPS that I played, Doom 16 was good and a solid 8 so Robocop, in comparison to that is a 4/10 due to the lack of budget which shows during the whole entirety of the game (again, terrible character models/animations/Vo's etc).
But besides all that, I just didn't find it to be fun, like, at all, for me personally, it's the definition of "slog".

You mileage may vary obviously so...

Cheers

Just nice to hear the other side of it, granted I haven't dived deep into the game info (I usually don't).

 

[Davey Cakes]

Man, I was waiting for this to drop back down to $20 because I’ve been itching to try it. $10 though? There’s the impulse.

 

[RAIDEN1]

It's probably the best Robocop game ever made in the history of it being a videogame..

 

[kingwingin]

What’s with the Horrible pixelation during camera changes in cutscenes. Had to stop playing it was pissing me off so much

They haven't fixed this yet ? LoL LMAO even...

Also : Wait until you reach some specific battle scenarios where the framerate tanks

Nope, that would still be the Dataeast arcade game
